What To Look For In A Tutor Online

What To Look For In A Tutor OnlineAs with all things in life, the best way to find a history tutor online is to go for an agency that is reputable and reliable. There are many factors to look at when searching for a tutoring service and some of the most important should be how long the agency has been in business, what their credentials are, and how many students they have successfully tutored.If a tutoring service is just starting out, that is not a good sign. A new institution may have inadequate facilities and may not be able to provide appropriate help. Also, their prices are probably quite high so you are not likely to get very much for your money.It is also wise to check what the tutoring services offer. This could be information about their facilities, their cost of tuition, and their practice style. These are all things to keep in mind if you plan to teach a course such as US History at the university level.You may also want to be sure that the tutors teaching your particular area are certified and have the required qualifications. This will ensure that you do not waste your time or money on somebody who cannot help you. This can help you get some feedback about the teaching style before you commit to them.Another thing to consider is whether the institution offering tutoring in US History is accredited. The same applies to the teachers themselves. Anybody who is teaching a course such as US History at the college level should be certified by a national body, such as the American Association of University Professors, the National Council of Teachers of English or some other recognized organization.If you are planning to teach your course at the undergraduate level, you may have to check out whether the institution offering tutoring in US History has accreditation for teaching graduates. If it does, then you are in good shape. The question that you should ask yourself is this: does the person teaching US History have a background in the field and can he provide help on a professional level? Is the lesson structure easy to follow?

Five Tips for Successful MCAT Prep Part 1

Five Tips for Successful MCAT Prep Part 1 MCAT Medical School Admissions The MCAT is a beast of an exam â€" there’s no way around it â€" and for many of you, it will also likely be your first real challenge academically, in terms of necessary preparation, exam intensity and sheer volume of subject matter. It won’t be easy, regardless of your IQ or SAT scores, but with a little bit of assistance and a whole lot of dedication, it is absolutely doable and within your reach. If you’ve made it this far in school, progressing through the pre-med curriculum, you certainly have what it takes to make it into medical school and beyond. The issue now is how do you make the most of your abilities and the time you have to study between now and testing day? There are a host of answers â€" some better than others â€" and separating the wheat from the chaff can sometimes seem daunting. Below we consider the first three of five recommendations, offered with confidence that some or all may prove helpful in your studies and preparation. Check back in a week for the final two recommendations: #1 Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses Very few students are completely well prepared across the board. As human beings, we all have different aptitudes and innate capabilities that make us uniquely suited for various tasks, including studying. Unless you’re one of the lucky few geniuses who effortlessly knows everything expertly and equally well, you should have an idea by now as to which subjects or topics are easier or harder for you to learn and master. Use this knowledge to your advantage when deciding on your division of labor. If biology has always been a snap for you, and chemistry still befuddles you, then slant your time and priorities towards those areas that need it most. For me, physics and verbal were well under control (an odd mix, I know), so I tended to stress the other areas more heavily. To be certain, you cannot get away with completely neglecting any one area or only working on another (unless you fit the envied category above). But since all the questions are worth the same amount, and the test makers probably do their best to evenly distribute from among the major disciplines, why not use probability and the law of averages in your favor? A good balance of knowledge will almost definitely serve you better on this test than will being a standout in one area, at the expense of others. #2 Use Mnemonics The advice is simple: use any device, of any sort, that will aid you in remembering all the information required. It absolutely does not matter what it is that works for you, as long as it works. And the more personalized (and perhaps even humorous) you can make it, the better. A common mnemonic is of course the acronym, where each letter stands for a different word/phrase/concept that must be recalled as part of a group or sequence. But acronyms merely scratch the surface of all the possible ways to wander with these tools. Whether it involves songs, literature, pop culture references, family traditions or any number of other potential wells of connection, use these devices to your advantage whenever and wherever possible. Quite simply, it is the best possible way to efficiently memorize a lot of information that is otherwise unbelievably boring to you. Their effectiveness lies in making connections between this material and things that you might possibly care about enough to remember in your ordinary life. And in general, the funnier and wackier the mnemonic, the more memorable it becomes. #3 Read the Answers First Both during preparation and on the real exam, and particularly with questions based on passages, read the answers before you read the questions. Sounds bizarre, but it works. Doing so will give you an idea of what they’re looking for prior to ever reading the question, and it often allows you to predict the question entirely. This gives you a practical advantage as well as a psychological one. Hopefully, considering the actual question will be a necessary afterthought once you’ve perused the possible responses, but it will certainly give you a head start regardless. But perhaps more importantly, a bit of success with this method begins to offer a distinct edge in terms of confidence. And as we all know, that can carry you quite a distance in the test-taking world. We hope you enjoyed these first three MCAT tips. Stay tuned for our final two tips in the coming weeks.

How to Get Teens to Read

How to Get Teens to Read There are lots of reasons teens stop reading as much as they did at a younger age. Nightly reading is often assigned by elementary teachers as homework, and many parents read to their children during those years. This changes in middle school, however, when it is assumed that students are independent readers who need to read to learnand not the other way around. Also, some teens never have grasped reading well, and would much rather do other things. How can you encourage your teen to read during middle and high school (and beyond)? Here are a few tips to help your teen get into (or back into) reading: Choose to read yourself. It can be hard to get teens off their smartphones, where the lure of instant access to games, social media and the internet is ever-present. If youre always scrolling through your phone, however, its going to be hard to convince your teen that he or she should not. Set the phone down, pick up something to read and let your teen see you doing so. Have your teen read to younger siblings. The benefits of reading aloud are well documented, both for the reader and the person listening. If your teen has younger brothers and/or sisters who are learning to read, ask him or her to do the out-loud reading sometimes. Visit the library and the bookstore. Continue to make regular library visits part of your family routine, and have your teen check out events and clubs that the library has going on. Talk about new releases that interest you and books that youve treasured, and reserve them for checkout. Give books as gifts. Try different genres and styles. Any reading is good reading. If your teen doesnt gravitate toward nonfiction, how about fiction? If novels arent capturing his or her interest, suggest comic books or graphic novels. Get the guidance of a librarian or bookstore employee, who are skilled at enticing readers of all ages with good book choices. Pick a family book to read. This works well at any age, but reading a book with your teen could give you something to talk about and bond overand why not make those chats into something fun like a coffee outing, a walk or a hike? Correct any problems. If reading is overly challenging for your teen, chances are, he or she will not choose to do it during any free time. Talk with teachers and get your teen the individualized assistance necessary to help him or her acquire and strengthen those reading building blocks. When reading becomes easier, your other efforts to promote it will be more successful. Dont force it. Be encouraging, but dont panic if your teen isnt a voracious reader. Many teens are busy, focusing on school, extracurricular activities and their social lives. Reading might temporarily take a backseat, but if you show your teen through your actions that reading has so much to offer, he or she might come back around later on. With so many other options competing for their time, many teens dont continue reading on their own. However, reading is integral to learning and will always be important while your teen is a studentplus, it is an activity that can bring your teen happiness for the rest of his or her life. Be persistent and patient with your support, which will make a difference in getting your teen to choose reading as an enjoyable pastime.

italki Reviewed Free Language Exchange Plus a Tutor-Student Marketplace (also are tutors worth it)

italki Reviewed Free Language Exchange Plus a Tutor-Student Marketplace (also are tutors worth it) Andrew Tracey is the author of the Spanish Learning Blog How to Learn Spanish (using free online resources!). He recently wrote a review about italki and we enjoyed it so much that we wanted to share some of the insight that he gained. Reposted with permission. Heres a link to the original article iTalki Reviewed: Free Language Exchange Plus a Tutor-Student Marketplace (also: are tutors worth it?) I’ve talked about (here) how I think language exchanges are probably the single most valuable thing you can do to learn a language because that’s where you’re actually talking to â€" and being corrected by â€" a native speaker, that’s where the rubber meets the road. They’re considered an absolutely integral part of The Telenovela Method of Learning Spanish since I place such emphasis on using the Spanish you’ve just learned and I think the best possible way to do that is by trying to use it to communicate with a native speaker (because you’ll learn immediately whether you’re applying it correctly or not). Also, I know I’ve recommended italki before several times, usually stating that it was what I believed to be the best online language exchange site available (and that’s including even the language exchange sites that cost money, iTalki does not) and I still believe that. I’ve been meaning to write up a review of it for a long time now (couple years actually) but haven’t because I’ve dealing entirely with my book the last two years or so (either writing it or launching it or marketing it or…blah, something), so here it is. Not only am I going to cover the language exchange portion of the site (which is entirely free) but I’m also going to cover the tutor-student marketplace, so to speak, that’s the other part of the site (and where iTalki makes its money, if you were wondering). I’ve been using the language exchange system on iTalki for years now but only just today did I try out one of their tutors for the very first time. The Language Exchange System I should note beforehand that pretty much all language exchanges online now are conducted via Skype â€" if you don’t have it you need to get it. Not only does it allow you to speak to the person in real time like a phone call but, if both users have webcams (which I’ve found that the overwhelming majority of my language partners do, as do I), then you can actually see the person via a live video feed as they’re talking to you, thereby making it, in my opinion, just as good as an in-person meeting since you have all the same benefits: real-time speech as well as being able to see their facial expressions and body language as they’re speaking. italki has a system to help you find language exchange partners that’s essentially a social network combined with a really good search engine, located at italki.com/partners. Accounts with italki are, of course, free, and once you have one set up simply go to the above link (or hover over the “Community” tab on the far right in the top menu then select “Language Partners”) and you’ll be taken to the search page. Now, choose the language that you want your partner to speak (that you’re learning), the language you speak, any particular country you want them to be from (useful if you’re interested in learning a particular dialect), gender if you prefer, and even the specific city you want them to be from if you like (sometimes a large city has its own dialect and accent, e.g. Madrid and Bogotá). Once you find someone you’re interested in talking to you “Follow” them (by clicking the orange “Follow” button in the middle-right of their profile page) and include a brief introductory message letting them know you want to talk to them. Here’s the one I use in both Spanish and English for you (if they’re a native Spanish speaker I recommend sending them the Spanish version since you don’t know how good their English is) that I include in my book along with several more pages of scripts and topics you can use during your language exchange: “Hola [their name], Acabo de darme cuenta de que usted habla español y aprende inglés, y yo aprendo español y mi idioma nativo es el inglés. Así que pensé, si usted quisiera, que podríamos ayudarnos mutuamente por hablar alguna vez. Salud, [your name]” Which translates to: “Hi [Their Name], I just noticed that you speak Spanish and are learning English. I’m learning Spanish and my native language is English. So I thought, if you’d like, that we could help each other out by talking sometime. Cheers, [Your Name]” Now, once they respond you’ll just need to get them added as a contact in Skype and set up a time and date to talk. For you to add each other as contacts so you can talk one of you will need to send a request to the other to be added as a contact and then that person will need to accept it, so you can either send them your Skype username and wait for them to send you the contact addition request or they can send you their Skype username and then you can send them the contact addition request. Tutors The other half of iTalki’s site, the one that costs money to use, is the tutor-student marketplace system they have in place. This is just like the language exchange system except instead of finding just any old native speaker of the language you want to learn and talking with them, you pay for a professional language tutor to teach you the language in whatever way you want (most offer formal lessons and informal conversation sessions where they just talk to you and help correct your speech). Now, they break this down into two different areas: “Professional Lessons” and “Informal Tutoring” â€" I noticed that a lot of the people listed in one are also in the other, so the difference really isn’t so much who (who’s teaching) as how (how they’re teaching). Do you want formal, structured lessons or just some informal tutoring and help with whatever you feel like talking about that day? To find a tutor, just search for whatever language you want to learn, specifying whether you want them to be a native speaker or not (I don’t think this is necessary, especially not for beginning students), what other languages you require them to speak (e.g. English), where you want them to be from (useful if you’re interested in a particular dialect), and any price constraints. Note that you have to pay using their own proprietary currency, iTalki Credits aka “ITC”, which you have to buy. 10 ITC equals $1US, and you have to purchase them in units of 100 ITC at a time with a minimum purchase of 100 ITC ($10US). Then you can go through the results, look at their feedback (how many students they have and how many sessions they’ve done combined with their number-of-stars rating is what I mean), check their schedule and available courses to see if they suit you, then simply schedule a class. It will ask you to provide your Skype ID which, although not absolutely necessary, is something I’d highly recommend you get if you don’t have one already (this is how 98% of these online lessons and language exchanges are conducted: via Skype). My Experience with a Tutor… Was very good. My tutor was Vero and I highly recommend her (very reasonable rates, too!). I just wanted an informal session where we talked about whatever, in Spanish, and she helped me out and corrected me. This is precisely what I got and I thought she did an excellent job. She would tell me what the correct word to describe something was when I was looking for such a word and couldn’t think of it, she corrected my grammar and syntax, and she taught me a couple of interesting cultural bits of information about various Spanish-speaking countries that I didn’t know. She also had a good deal of material prepared ahead of time including a short film in Spanish she wanted me to watch and then recount to her in order to gauge my abilities, which are not as good as they were two years ago because I’ve been spending all this time working on that blasted book and not my Spanish (it’s been probably a year and a half since I’ve even talked to anyone in Spanish and yes, if you don’t use it you lose it). My problem, which I’ve known about for quite a while and this simply confirmed it, is not that I don’t know enough Spanish (words and how to use them, i.e. the correct grammar and syntax) but that I’m just too slow, I can’t understand native speakers speaking quickly even if I know all the Spanish that they’re using and would be able to understand it perfectly if it were written down in front of me and I had time to read it. This is what’s known as a listening comprehension problem and is simply the result of not having spoken or listen ed to much Spanish in a while, that’s all. I’ll be correcting this in the future as I’m able to devote more time to it and returning to writing on this blog, and I’ll be doing it with Vero’s help most likely, and here’s why… Here’s who should use a language tutor: anyone for whom the time saved is worth the money spent. That’s who. It’s simple, it really is, it’s just like any other language-learning product and I’ve said as much before: if you’ve got the money to spend on it and you think the time and effort it will save you is worth the price, then you should buy it and give it a shot. I have always made it very, very clear that you can learn Spanish (and most other fairly common languages) online, for free, and quite effectively in a reasonable amount of time. In fact, there’s never been a better time to do that than now due to the state of technology, especially the internet and what’s available for free on it. However, when you’re doing that â€" learning Spanish on your own using free resources â€" then the use of those resources, the system you put together with them in order to teach yourself Spanish, is entirely of your own design, you’re on your own. If you don’t know how to use all those resources, if you don’t know how to learn a language (you don’t if you’ve nev er done it before), believe me when I tell you that you’re going to have a heck of a time cobbling all these resources (free ones at least) together into a system that’s at least somewhat effective and efficient. Having a proper guide, in the form of either a competent person or a book (ahem) will save you enormous amounts of time and energy (and even money if you’re thinking about buying language-learning products and don’t know where to start in that regard). It might sound strange that I, someone who’s learned a language to a fairly high level of proficiency before, is going to get a tutor in that language! Well, here’s the thing: it’s not that I can’t do it myself, it’s the combination of my time becoming more and more valuable (because it’s becoming more constrained) coupled with the fact that I’ve got a bit more disposable income to work with. So if I let someone else do a good deal of the heavy lifting such as determining topics of conversation, picking material to work on, etc., plus the convenience of scheduling it whenever I want as well as not having to spend half my time helping them with their English, then it really makes it much easier on me and saves me a lot of time, time that’s worth what I paid to save it by hiring the tutor. It’s not that you can’t learn Spanish, or any other language, on your own: it’s that having a competent teacher, who’s learned several languages themselves and taught other people those languages, can save you significant amounts of time and effort, that’s all. It’s up to you to determine if it’s worth it. Cheers, Andrew

4 Resume Writing Tips for Your Internship Hunt

4 Resume Writing Tips for Your Internship Hunt (Image via Pixabay.com) 1. Choose an appropriate format. When employers are viewing your resume, they want to see something that is well structured and well organized. Many employers, in fact, only spend a few seconds scanning everything on that piece of paper before deciding whether or not the candidate is worth their time. You don’t want poor formatting or organization to be the reason your resume doesn’t move on to the next round. With that being said, you will certainly be doing potential employers a favor by formatting your resume properly. Organize subheadings in an appropriate and logical manner. Of course, not every resume is organized in exactly the same way, so you have a bit of freedom here. You’ll just want to make sure that you arrange your subheadings (e.g. “education,” “work experience,” etc.) in a way that makes sense, according to what you’ve listed. You may also want to draw attention to the subheadings by putting them in bold so that it’s easy for employers to notice. Under each subheading, you can then list out in bullets the different points you wish to make. 2. Make the most of your limited space. As mentioned above, employers usually don’t spend a lot of time scrutinizing resumes, so it’s best to keep yours as succinct as possible. That means including things that are relevant to the internships for which you’re applying. For example, if you’re hunting for a business internship, you probably don’t need to include the fact that you won your middle school spelling bee. Make a list of all your important accomplishments, volunteer and work experience, and whatever else seems relevant. From that list, choose what is most applicable to the industry you’re looking into and arrange those items under the appropriate headings. According to acme.org, which offers some pretty helpful advice on how to craft an effective resume, identifying accomplishments and not just job descriptions is also important. Specifically, if you list past jobs as part of your work experience, you want to focus more on explaining what you did and what you learned, rather than on simply providing a description of your job position. The best way to do this is to first provide a brief job description, then list out your accomplishments and what you did or learned while on the job. Doing so will show potential employers that you got something out of your work experience, and that you have gained valuable transferable skills that will be useful in your future endeavors. 3. Gear the style of your resume writing towards the specific industry. To make the content of your writing more effective, you want to make it as applicable as possible to the industry you’re delving into. Thebalance.com suggests that writing a custom resume is well worth the effort, especially if you happen to be applying for a position that suits your qualifications and experience. By including more information in your resume that is relevant to the particular job you’re applying for, you can show employers that you’re dedicated and willing to put in a great deal of effort to land an interview. Certainly, writing a custom resume for a specific internship position will leave a much greater impression than submitting a generic resume. (Image via pixabay.com) 4. Proofread. While this is one of the last steps you take, you certainly don’t want to overlook it. Make sure to proofread your resume for any simple grammatical or spelling mistakes. Read it aloud to yourself, have others proofread it for you… Do whatever you can to ensure it’s in perfect condition, so that you can be confident about finally sending it out after all the hard work you’ve done.

The Basic Concept of Algebra - What Does a Math Tutor Really Mean?

The Basic Concept of Algebra - What Does a 'Math Tutor' Really Mean?The term 'Algebra Tutor' does not necessarily have to mean the same thing in 8th grade. But, it can be thought of as someone who is going to help your child when they are working on a math problem or math assignment.First of all, if you live in the south, chances are you would have an algebra tutor for an 8th grader. It's the way of the south. There are so many resources that teach the basics of algebra and this is one of them. There is such a diversity in the math skills of children across the south, that there is no way that all of them will learn the same basic skills.Those who live in the south have a pretty good shot at learning all of the basics, because there are certain students who have more aptitude and are able to absorb the most information quickly. If you have a child from the south, there are several resources that are geared toward teaching algebra, but, they will all have the basic concepts covered.In the Midwest, there are some resources for algebra that are much different. These are more of a conversation between parents and teachers. What I mean by that is that there are plenty of resources out there that are geared towards teaching algebra. There are algebra books, and lesson plans, and even algebra calculators.It's not something that is a task that is left up to the algebra tutor for an 8th grader. These resources come from parents who are very close to the problems. They know what works and what doesn't work, and so, they have come up with the best resources for their children.To understand how much of a difference a math tutor can make, we need to compare it to the fact that ifyou were a parent of a young child and you did not have a math tutor around, then you could very well lose out on your child's learning abilities. The fact that the math skill of your child was not going to be properly taught makes a huge difference to the growth of your child.When it comes to using resources for teaching math to children, the math teacher's job is to make sure that your child is getting the most out of their learning time. There are many resources that will do just that, but, the resources that are best for your child will come from you.
